Bluesparking tuning boxes - any good?

As the title suggests - I’m considering one of these for my F31 335 - https://www.bluesparkautomotive.com/...-ps-pro-boost#

I’m aware that a remap would be the better option and that these boxes just increase fuel/boost but I can’t justify the cost for one at the moment.

I found an old thread where these were discussed and the overall opinion seemed pretty good.

For the cost they seem to offer some good gains over stock (I’m aware these numbers may be inflated).

Has anyone had one on theirs?

No they’re shit, I had one and it just fell apart, the clips disintegrated, the screw heads fell off, just generally poor quality!

Spend the extra on a DTUK box with app control.

Give Simon from https://www.e-maps.co.uk a shout. He just did my F31 330d and it came to £300 inc vat, inc him travelling to my work to carry out the work.

They write their own maps. He is mega knowledgeable about all the common issues with each engine so checks it over before carrying out the remap.

Thanks! I managed to get a good deal on a used DTUK 3 channel box on fleabay - it’s not an app control one but for the price I paid I’m happy.

Planning on fitting it Sunday - can’t wait!

I assume you’ve got one or had one??
